Imagine sitting in your local cafe and sipping your favorite tea as kittens walk around your feet, sit in your lap, and relax on the windowsill. It seems outlandish, but “cat cafés” are gaining popularity around the world – and the next one could be in our very own city. They began in Taiwan, but have recently spread to Europe and America. Not only that, but these cats will most likely be adoptable. Pounce Cat Café in Charleston, South Carolina is expected to open in the summer of 2016!
